Default Space or vacuum compressed bags

Does anyone know if they sell this type of bags in Spain? If so, how much is each bag 130cm X 100cm size? The bags are supposed to cut down the space vol by 75%.

You can buy them in Canada but I just want to know if you can buy them in any Spanish shop.

Bin bags work the same, squash them then tie them.

Once the air is sucked out, the bag will remain in the compressed state for as long as you don't open it.

No, but if you weigh enough you can squash the air out and as long as there are no leaks they stay squashed. ;-)
I did it with all our duvets, pillows etc when I drove over.

we have 3 in the port - & a spanish 'todo 100'

a couple in the Arenal & I think one in the pueblo


those in the port are all on top of each other (not literally)- and seem to have different strengths

one is good for shoes, another for electrical stuff, another for bags & so on

I wonder if there's some sort of agreement between them?
